Chomsky Video Release: January 2002 | Theatrical Release: Runtime: 570 Rating: Not Rated Released by Warner Home Video | UPC: 085393745622 chapters.indigo Review This powerful adaptation of Alex Hailey's acclaimed book about the trials of 18th-century slave Kunta Kinte and his descendants was the television event of 1977 and, thanks to its masterful performances and sweeping scope, it has endured as an important cultural artifact. LeVar Burton starred as Kunta Kinte, who is ripped from his home in Africa and sold into slavery in the United States. The horrors of entrenched racism in the antebellum South -- psychological and physical -- are played out here as they never had been before, with brutal rapes, torture and the forcible separation of husbands, wives, and children. The story follows several generations of Kinte's family, concluding with the story of freed slave Chicken George (Ben Vereen) and his family.
